SURA Optical Technologies Workshop; Research Triangle Park, NC; December, 2001

正如提案中所指出的，光网络实际上包括一系列不断改进的技术。 目前，许多大学和研究机构都有兴趣使用各种策略部署这些技术的子集，以加强研究和学习。本提案是SURA促进研讨会，探讨光学技术的现状，协助教育校园网络专业人员了解光学技术，探讨目前最佳做法，涉及部署光学技术，以支持先进的学术网络在当地，这次会议将于2001年12月13日至14日在北卡罗来纳州举行，为期两天。会议的长期成果预计将是一本光网络食谱。

As noted in the proposal, optical networking actually encompasses a range of technologies which are under continuous improvement. Many universities and research organizations are currently interested in deploying a subset of these technologies using various strategies to enhance research and learning.This proposal is for SURA to facilitate a workshop that explores the current state of optical technologies,assists in educating campus networking professionals about optical technologies,explores current best practices involving the deployment of optical technologies in support of advanced academic networks at the local, regional and national level.This will be a 2-day meeting in North Carolina, December 13-14, 2001. The long-term outcome of the conference is expected to be an Optical Networking Cookbook.
